It sort of evolved from a band that Dave and I had been in called the Outkids. The bass player left (he manages a Kentucky Fried Chicken now) and we got Bill to play bass. This was about '75. We started a couple of years before that.
Glenn Mercer (about "The Feelies")

It's frustrating at times because we play some places and there aren't that many people there. With the Feelies, I can't remember the last show we did where it wasn't pretty packed. But that's expected. We're just happy to have a band and be playing. The whole scene has changed so drastically since the Feelies were around.
